Integrating art into primary education gives children space and freedom to engage their minds actively. Since 2017, Shuruart Foundation has worked with more than 1470 children studying in 25 Government Primary Schools in Varanasi. Through Let’s Start Art, a program by Shuruart foundation, we have been working rigorously to improve children's literacy skills through visual arts providing holistic development for these children through art-integrated learning.

Children are the ardent observers of their surroundings where art serves as a canvas to express themselves in the most artistic and imaginative ways.  The recent course of vast changes in temperature and climatic conditions has accentuated the critical need for action to protect Mother Earth. Through art-integrated learning young minds actively delve into their thoughts and explore subjects in creative and engaging ways giving them a deeper understanding of the world around them, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

In the Let’s Start Art session, we conducted the art session where we asked the children to prepare masks. Children used the opportunity to convey their personalities, interests, and emotions through the design of their masks. Such activities encourage the students to think creatively and enhance their aesthetic

In the lets Start Art sessions this month, we asked students to read a chapter named "The Fair" from their English book and relate it to the Fair they visited.
Such topics help children express the ideas that they can not put into words. Through our let's start art program we aim to encourage such expression.
Here are a few stories that will surely bring back your childhood memories of visiting a fair.
